Collaborative Combative Drawing / Resistance Training

ACTION: LEARN THE ART OF COMBAT DRAWING

A special Collaborative Combative Drawing workshop will be held as part of Resistance Training, an exhibition and group of events curated by Glen Helfand offering a bolstering sense of community in the midst of a tumultuous political era. Artist and Self-Defense instructor Melissa Wyman invites participants to explore both the cooperative and combative sides of their fields by going head to head in the creation of large-scale works on paper. Participants must push, pull, escape or outwit each other in order to complete a single drawing or representation of their personal power statement, symbol or design. Melissa will coach participants in effective and relevant martial art/self-defense techniques for outmaneuvering the other participants and getting their drawing down on paper. The process will be frustrating yet exhilarating, and result in surprisingly dynamic, collaborative works.
